lilly Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 HiI'm thinking about moving to Sky Broadband. I'm currently on Virgin Media and never had any major problems with them around Barry Road. Sky is offering good deals at the moment and I just wanted to gather feedback from people in Dulwich who are with Sky.Any info from users would be great.

bobbsy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I had regular sky broadband until recently (non-fibre). It was great, reasonably fast and in 4 years I don't remember a problem. Only reason I switched was that the price ratcheted up each year and discounts for existing members were poor...time for a change!

Guest Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It's probably best you ask some of your neighbours. They are the best people to get advice from as performance and reliability can be very localised as it depends on where exactly you live. Having said that, I've had good reliability and performance with both Sky and BT. Although the customer service during initial setup was a pain but that is a given.

johnie Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Try this to see speeds in your area. It's usually quite a good indicator.http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/broadband_speed_in_my_area_v2.aspx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/111335-how-good-is-sky-broadband-in-ed/#findComment-1011957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedges Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I moved from Virgin to Sky Fibre broadband down Copleston Road last September - I think the Sky is much better.

larrylandell Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Agree with Cedges. Virgin was good when it worked but lost connection far too often. Sky has worked without any fault for 6 months and download speed is okay.

craigyboy71 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Don't bother with Sky Fibre... I upgraded last November and haven't seen a noticeable increase in the line speed to warrant the additional cost. I live near Barry Road, Peckham Rye end.
